Huangdi Song Fortune _ Huangdi Poetry Fortune-telling

Is China's ancient metaphysics really true?

Different people have different views on metaphysics. People who have never been in contact naturally don't care about anything and have no fear. My main field of studying metaphysics is divination. There are many liars in this respect, and some amateurs in 285 are talking nonsense. Therefore, metaphysics has been regarded as a deceptive thing by many people in recent years. Some things, you don't know how deep it is until you touch them. Too many people say ice is hot when they see it steaming. I studied metaphysics. Let's talk about metaphysics in my understanding. I mainly study divination. From the perspective of divination, it is divination, that is, divination (not fortune telling). The main function of divination is to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but in most cases, I can only say that it is useless to come to me. For example, I ask the most questions about feelings, knowing that it is not good to quarrel every day, but it is really unnecessary for two people to make a divination and seek peace of mind. In my understanding, divination is a mathematical formula that we can't understand. People who know should understand what I mean. Simply put, it is x+y= 1. The result that the fortune teller wants to know is X. I asked the fortune teller something about Y. We can know what X is through divination, but the process of divination is very complicated, which is also the reason why many people are uncertain. We left out a part of these formulas, just like the root sign. We know that x may be 4, which is why the lack of formula leads to the calculation of two results. I study Feng Shui, which is relatively simple. The so-called "Luan Tou School" and "Li Style" of Feng Shui are just different manifestations of Qi. If this qi reaches a state of peace or extreme prosperity, the result will be different. This is how the house prospered, which may be somewhat incomprehensible. Now you can know whether this home is prosperous by walking in front of others' houses. If we didn't get rich together, what disasters might have happened (car accident, knife wound, etc. This is the charm of metaphysics. Whether it is serious or not depends on the individual. There are many powerful people in metaphysics, and some things can't be said. I hope everyone will keep awe of China's ancient art and accumulate some words. Metaphysics is the business of our ancestors, so there is no need to scold them.

China's five techniques of folk metaphysics are mountain, medicine, life, divination and physiognomy. , you can also call the secretary network? Or? There should be no more comprehensive metaphysical books than the tens of thousands of books collected in the ancient books museum.

Mountain, that is, immortalism, includes sutra practice, alchemy and magic.

Medicine, that is, Chinese medicine, relies on the study of meridians and uses prescriptions to guide, make wishes and treat.

Life, that is, life science, relies on horoscope, stars and gods to reason about fate.

Divination is divination. Taiyi, Qimen and Liu Ren are divination, Yimei and Liu Yi are divination, divination, dreaming and drawing lots are miscellaneous divination, and throwing money is easy to occupy, so as to predict good or bad luck.

Phase, that is, phase learning, is asked by the world universities, phase heaven (astrology), phase earth (geomantic omen), phase person (face, palm, body and sound are equal).

Metaphysics is a philosophical trend of thought that rose in the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty and mainly integrated Taoism and Confucianism, so it is usually called "Metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties". Metaphysics was the mainstream thought that replaced Confucian classics in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Metaphysics is a "profound knowledge" based on "the ancestors narrate Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi", integrating Confucianism and Taoism, and calling Zhouyi, Laozi and Zhuangzi "San Xuan". The "metaphysics" of metaphysics comes from Laozi's thought. In the first chapter of Laozi, I said, "The Xuan is also the Xuan, which is the gate of Wan Qi".

Metaphysics is the universal law "Tao" of all things in the world, which embodies the infinity and mystery of all things' changes. Metaphysical scholars interpreted The Analects of Confucius and The Book of Changes with their reformed ideas of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, reformed the Confucian classics in Han Dynasty, and established the philosophical ontology of "governing by doing nothing".

Five skills of metaphysics

1, mountain

This mountain contains the secrets of cultivating the mind, nourishing nature and exercising. "Mountain" is also the most profound and mysterious, and it is also the most easily misunderstood as "superstition".

"Mountain" includes Xuan Dian, health preservation and Xiu Mi's practice. Xuandian-all good books that can cultivate one's self-cultivation can be used for practice, such as Laozi, Zhuangzi, Liezi, Sun Tzu, Taigong Yin Fujing, Huangdi Neijing, Daozang and even Journey to the West ... and all other books are used to enrich the mind and understand the universe.

Health-keeping-a breathing method to pursue health and longevity-Qigong. For example, Taoist alchemy is called Tiandan, Ren Dan and Didan.

"Xiu Mi"-methods such as incantation, pressing the town, praying for stars and martial arts. Use sports and the unity of spirit and concept to improve the physical and mental realm.

There is also metaphysics that divides "mountain" into five ways: fairy, Tao, illusion, spirit and soldier. And its scope does not deviate from the above three parts.

Mountain is the most difficult field to reach in mysterious art. Strictly speaking, it is the time for ordinary people to cultivate immortality and to pursue transcendence metaphysically. Only the circulation of "life, divination, physiognomy and medicine" can help the world.

2. Medical treatment

Metaphysics "medicine" includes three parts.

Prescription-a method to treat various diseases according to exterior and interior, deficiency and excess, cold and heat, and then according to the ancient principle of yin and yang and eight diagrams.

Acupuncture and Moxibustion-Distinguish eight meridians and eight points with Huangdi Neijing and Difficult Classic, and treat diseases with copper acupuncture points.

Psychiatry-a method of treating diseases by hypnosis, suggestion and concentration of mental thoughts, taking thirteen subjects of wishing as medicine.

3. Life

Numerology is to infer a person's life trajectory and the information of six relatives' good and bad luck according to the time and space of birth.

Numerology has a long history, which can be traced back to ancient times. With the development of history, numerology is becoming more and more perfect. All previous dynasties had advisers who knew this technique to assist princes, such as Zhou Wenwang and Jiang Shang in the Zhou Dynasty, Sun Bin in the Warring States, Zhuge Liang in the Han Dynasty, Li Fengchun in the Tang Dynasty and Liu Bowen in the Ming Dynasty. There are also some hermits, such as Chen Laozu, Ye He Laoren and Shao Kangjie.

Astrology-astrology includes seven political affairs and four odd things, fighting between China and the West, and five stars.

In ancient times, due to the underdeveloped productivity of human beings, they could not explain the mysterious natural phenomena and their own poverty and longevity, so the idea of dominating everything in the world and everything on the earth came into being. In the words of the Book of Changes, it is called "the road changes, each for his own life".

Later, Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, and Old Master Q, who was extremely loyal, and his disciples were highly praised and promoted. (Later, Confucius, an extremely trusted thinker, and his disciples strongly admired and rose. )

The origin of China's numerology began in the Han Dynasty, which is mainly found in White Tiger Yi Tong and Wang Chong's Lun Heng. In the Tang Dynasty, it developed rapidly, and basically identified heavenly stems and earthly branches, when a person was born, used to infer his life's dignity, longevity, good or ill luck.

After the further development and perfection of Xu Ziping, a native of the Five Dynasties and the Early Song Dynasty, numerology entered a mature and perfect stage based on the four pillars of birthdates.

The so-called "four pillars" means that heavenly stems and earthly branches in the year of birth is one pillar, heavenly stems and earthly branches in the month is two pillars, heavenly stems and earthly branches in the date is three pillars, and heavenly stems and earthly branches in the hour is four pillars. Each column has eight characters, one word at a time. Then, according to the five elements of yin and yang contained in the eight characters, we can infer the general situation of a person's life fate. After the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Eight-character Classics continued to improve and develop, but the basic theory in the early Song Dynasty remained unchanged.

According to people's birth time, heavenly stems and earthly branches is arranged into a life table, with the most ancient books in the middle part of the four pillars. The main ancient books are: Xing Zong, Xing Ping Hui Hai, Yuan Hai Zi Ping, Ghost Valley Legacy, Sun Bin's suicide note, San Hui, Poor Bamboo Slips (also known as Lan Jianggang) and Mu. There are countless works on modern life science. There are many smart people in the younger generation.

4. Five Metaphysics Techniques-Divination

When it comes to divination, the first thing to say is the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes sums up the laws from Fuxi's observation of astronomical geography, imitates the feelings of all things from far and near, and draws an earth-shattering and weeping oriental "magic symbol"-Taiji Bagua (also known as innate gossip).

Later, the sages of Xia, Shang and Zhou changed Lianshan, Guizang and Zhouyi, respectively, according to the relationship between Heluo's physical function and their own understanding of the innate Book of Changes, and called them Sanyi.

The Book of Changes is three changes, in which Lianshan stays for twenty-eight nights on Sunday, and according to Fiona Fang's theory, the number of three sides, four sides, seven roads and seven roads of a circle is made, while the number of returning to Tibet is five times ten, and the center side is five times five, which is twenty-five, which is equivalent to the number of days in Heluo, and the four corners of the square are multiplied by ten times ten times a hundred, which is a great derivative.

On the basis of the research on the Eight Diagrams of Fuxi in Zhou Wenwang Prison in the late Shang Dynasty, the Book of Changes changed the innate body into the acquired one, extended the "Yi Zhi" to the "popular one", and created the Eight Diagrams of King Wen, also known as the acquired one.

Innate gossip embodies the rule of taking the river map as the rule and life as the priority. The gossip the day after tomorrow shows that Luo Shu is popular, mainly in grams. Zhouyi contains the physical and functional relationship between heaven and earth. At this point, every layout of the whole universe corresponds to the standard table of "heaven and earth are parallel"-"Bagua Najia Map" and "Yijing" are gradually improved.

All numerology metaphysics is based on divination, and most military strategists in historical dynasties are proficient. Zhuge Liang in the Han Dynasty, Li in the Tang Dynasty, Liu Bowen in the Ming Dynasty, Zeng Guofan in the Qing Dynasty ... All kinds of divination are based on divination and evolved from the ancient Zhouyi, such as the number of plum blossoms, the number of families, the number of gods in Liu Ren, the number of gods in Taiyi and so on.

In this part of divination, some sects also include divination, coping with dreams, interpreting characters, signing and pasting, scientific names and so on.

The Eight Diagrams of King Wen experienced the inheritance and development of sages from generation to generation, and most of them were mastered and used by the people in the Song Dynasty. Among them, Shao Kangjie is the most representative. His application of divination in Zhouyi was close to the immortal at that time, and he promoted the Yijing to create the immortal masterpiece "Meihua Yijing".

The Book of Changes of Plum Blossoms is favored and widely used by Yi-ology enthusiasts because of its simple and quick prediction method and simple and profound theoretical basis.

In ancient times, Shao Kangjie occupied personnel by observing plum blossoms. Later, people called this method "plum blossoms are easy to count". In fact, at that time, Shao Kangjie's prediction of the Eight Diagrams in Zhouyi had reached the point of perfection, and reached the highest level of divination in Zhouyi, that is, "observing images with Taoism and telling things with images".

Our understanding of Yi-ology is still superficial, and it is inseparable from "image" and "number". Therefore, it is wrong to interpret the thought of observing Mei and politics at that time, but it is to discuss things directly by observing images. We understand that it is wrong to start from the image, start from the number of hexagrams and then look at things with hexagrams. In fact, his view of Mei Ci is based on Taoist image, which is the highest realm of prophecy. Typical examples of divination are plum viewing, flower viewing and temple plaque. In fact, Shao Kangjie didn't do divination at that time, but directly used what happened at that time to tell what would happen in the future. Later, according to the image, we can see the result of the event.

5. Five Metaphysical Skills-Stage

There are two kinds of landforms-human landforms and terrestrial landforms.

Anthropology-Anthropology includes palm reading, physiognomy, body reading, touching bones and moles. China's palm reading also has a long history. As early as the Zhou Dynasty (about 3,000 years ago), various physiognomy techniques prevailed in the Central Plains countries.

Among the pre-Qin philosophers, Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi had the closest relationship with Xiangxue. The records of Confucius and Xiang Xue can be seen in The Family of Confucius and Biography of Zi Han.

It is recorded that "those who exist in human beings cannot hide their evil with their eyes. If their brains are right, their eyes will do it." Listen to him and look into his eyes ... "From this, we can see his thoughts and behaviors from his appearance, words and deeds. Among them, Xunzi once wrote "Flying Articles" and other works.

By the Han Dynasty, physiognomy had developed greatly. And there have also been fortune tellers who are famous for their faces. There are family records in Hanshu, Chu Chunqiu and Hanshu, among which Xu Fu, Wang and other physiognomists are the most famous. Xu Fu was the most famous in Han Dynasty. She was originally a woman, and was named a female pavilion by Emperor Gaozu because of her fine features. According to the records of Huaiqing Fu Zhi, Xu Fu has Song of Virtue, Miscellaneous Comments on the Five Senses, Listening to the Sound and Walking, etc.

At present, we often see many books mentioned in the photo album, such as Xu Fu's photo album, but the total score should be that the photo album has no name. For example, Sixteen Articles of Xu Negative Phase Law of the Ming Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty were handed down as her works.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was an article on facial features in Wang Chong's Lun Heng and Wang Fu's Lun Fu. For example, Hanshu has 24 chapters of Ren Xiang, from which we can see that the theoretical basis of Xiangxue was basically formed in the Han Dynasty.

In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, physiognomy was further developed and popularized. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, we can often see the deeds of many Xiang Xuehai figures, such as Guan Ju, Zhu Jianping and Liu Wuji.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the development of physiognomy reached its peak. Xiangxue entered a mature stage after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the Sui Dynasty, there were records of Sui Shu's Ding Wei and Lai He, including forty-six Xiangshu and two Sui Shu-Jing Ji Zhi, Xiang Jing and Yao Lu.

In the Tang Dynasty, physiognomy developed rapidly. Historical materials can be found in Yuan Tiangang of Tang Dynasty. There were Yuan Tiangang, Long Fuben, Xia Rong, Liu and Yuan in the Tang Dynasty. Among them, the famous great poets Du Mu, Han Yu and Bai Juyi also learned from each other. By the Tang Dynasty, there were as many as 30 kinds of picture books.

By the Song Dynasty, physiognomy was quite developed. Chen Tuan in the historical records of the Song Dynasty can be found in the famous chronicles. The physiognomists mainly include Chen Tuan, Ant Road, Miaoying Monk and Miao Fang. And Song Dynasty literati Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian also learned from each other. There were many photo albums in the Song Dynasty, and there are also many famous photo albums that have been handed down to this day, such as The Story of the Moon Cave, Yuguan Bureau, Ant Incense Law, etc.

In the Ming Dynasty, the physiognomy of Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty also developed greatly. There are few famous physiognomists and physiognomists recorded in the Yuan Dynasty, and the book "The Great Unification Fu" was written at this time. There were many famous physiognomists in Ming dynasty, and a large number of physiognomy books appeared. The physiognomists mainly include Liu Bowen, Rulan Monk, Zhang Tian, Yuan Xun and Yuan Zhongche. Among them, Yuan Jia and his son are the most famous.

The Hundred Questions of Yongle is a famous book of physiognomy, which comes from the dialogue between Ming Chengzu and Yuan Jia. Yuan Xun has Liu Zhuang Xiang Fa included in Yongle Dadian, and Yuan Zhongche also has Man-Han Banquet. Liu Zhuang Xiang Fa, which was widely circulated in later generations, was related to Yuan Jia and his son.

China's traditional physiognomy developed into a masterpiece of the Ming Dynasty, The Biography of Immortals, which was revised by Yuan Zhongche under the pretext of Chen Tuan's secret biography. Other related works of physiognomy include Insights into Ancient and Modern Times, A Complete Book of Physiology, and Guijian Five Elements Picture Book. Among them, Ma Yixiang Law and Liu Zhuang Xiang Law have great influence on later generations. Ma Xiang first appeared in the Song Dynasty, was written in the Ming Dynasty, and was finalized in the Qing Dynasty.

On the basis of the development of physiognomy in Ming dynasty, physiognomy in Qing dynasty got greater development. The works of physiognomy in Qing Dynasty mainly include Fan's Collection of Water Mirrors, Yungushan's Tieguan Road, Qixia Mountain's Gold, Zen master Bai Feng's Secret Leaves of Lingshan, Yanshan Mountain's Gods, Gao's Physiognomy in Qing Dynasty, which is said to be Taoist Taiyi and Chen's Physiognomy. Among them, Tie Guan Dao and Jin Jiao Jian are the most concise, while Water Mirror Collection and Li Xiang Heng Zhen are the most comprehensive, and they are the masters after The Whole Story of Aquilaria Resina.

By the time of the Republic of China, there had been more popular and easy-to-understand books, among which the plain map method and the public map method were the most famous. Other photography books include The Origin of Chinese and Western Photography, The Integration of Photography Methods, Palmistry, The Secret Book of Phase Formation, The Face of Women, The Secret Book of Photography, etc.

As an academic discipline, palmistry, like other disciplines, has its own unique academic rationality, analysis and systematicness. The purpose of palm reading is to observe a person's character, morality and courage, to understand his own ability tendency, to ascertain his innate health, to predict his future fate, or his success or failure at a certain moment or in his life, so as to avoid it.

Geomorphology-Geomorphology, commonly known as Feng Shui, is also called Feng Shui. As early as the pre-Qin period, there were activities to find a house. On the one hand, it is the residence of the living, on the other hand, it is the cemetery of the dead. "Preface to Shangshu Zhaozhao" said: "If you become a king, you will be rich. If you want to live in the city, let Zhao Gong live in the house first." This is the Xiangyang building. "Filial piety-bereavement" is a good omen for the family, but it is also embarrassing. This is the method of divination and land selection.
